Y one of nie objects or the invention ,1s-ftd, p'rovide a containerof thistypein which the lend members and side wall portion are secured tol-ij' gether in such a way asvto provide not only a gas tight and liquid tight seaL-butalso so astof 10 withstand considerable internal pressure; t'

Another object o i the linvention is to. provide a' container orthis type which'is completelylined with Cellophane iorsome similarV lining 'nfiaterial In order yto give anunderstanding of the in-4v vention, I have illustratedA in the drawing aselected embodiment of the invention `which, will-l end'lmembersj are'made" -f now be described after which the novel 'rfeatures'ik will be pointed out inthe appendedfclairns;

Y Fig; 4 is an ,'enlargedffragmentary'- sectionali andvarious otherffood products.

Asstated above, one feature of the invention relates to the manner in Ywhichthe end members A3 and 4 are attached to the brousside wall'2,

this being 'done in such a wayas. to provide a connection between the side wall land end menibers which will not only be liquid tight and gas tight, but whichY will withstand any reasonable -pressurewhich may' develop withinA the con-A @the laterally extending seaming flange '6, as-

shown in Fig..2, the wallj having a shape to t Within theside -Wall portion'Z.

When the blank has been'given the shape shown in Fig. 2, the Cellophane lining will o 'y underlie the body of the end member and will lie on the outside of the vertical wall 5 and on the underside of the seaming flange lG with its rib 11.
